Southerners can describe Confucius' phrase "never tire of essence and never tire of detail" to the fullest. Confucius, a native of Qilu Shandong Province, probably didn't expect that his original intention was the rhetoric of health indicators, which was exquisite, neutral and healthy. So far, he has commented on all kinds of delicious food in China.
The more heroic and rough the north, roast whole sheep, northeast stew, soup mutton and so on. This is a strong visual sense of the northern grassland. Northerners like to eat meat, drink, eat big noodles and talk loudly, so if a southerner goes to the north, the first thing that scares him is the bowl used in the north and the plate at the north end. This feeling is particularly evident in Shandong cuisine.
2. Different cuisines
Southern cuisines, mainly Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan and hangzhou dishes, are exquisite. For example, a boiled cabbage in Sichuan cuisine requires clear soup stewed with ribs of old ducks and old hens, and cooked with cabbage in the north, requiring the soup to be green, fresh and elegant. Cantonese cuisine pays more attention to the diversity of cooking skills, the strangeness and wide range of materials, the complexity and meticulous practice, and sometimes seasonal. Summer and autumn are light, winter and summer are strong, and food and customs are rich, so now there is a saying that "food is in Guangzhou".
Shandong cuisine is the most famous cuisine in the north and the oldest cuisine in China. It is also a dish that ordinary people often cook at home today, such as sweet and sour, braised, steamed, spilled oil, braised, fried and so on. It not only laid the framework of China's cooking techniques, but also laid the core aesthetics of China's cooking with its elegant atmosphere, awe-inspiring and peaceful health.
3. Different buildings
The difference between north and south buildings. There is a saying in the architectural world that "the north and south are flat, the south is simple, the north is simple, the south is luxurious and the north is simple, and the south shed and the north nest", which means that the rainfall in the north and south is different.
There is little rainfall in the north. In order to collect rainwater, most roofs are built with flat roofs to collect rainwater. The house is sealed, and the walls are tall and thick, which can keep warm in winter. There is heavy rainfall in the south, and the slope of the building roof is large, which is conducive to getting wet and the roof is high, which is conducive to ventilation and heat dissipation.
4. Culture characteristics
The cultural customs of the residents in the north and south tend to be different due to the regional influence, and their preferences and aesthetics are also different. The south is complicated and free because of many factors, while the north is regular, simple and consistent, not only in terms of diet, architecture, clothing style and art.
Southerners are delicate and gentle, while northerners are generous and generous. This is reflected in all aspects of life. Southerners are more inclined to be small, fresh and petty, with meticulous and shrewd personality. Northerners, on the other hand, have clear pronunciation and mellow voice, are bold and unconstrained, do not pay attention to details, and prefer to be more straightforward.
Extended data
The south is flooded and the north is dry. China has an East Asian monsoon climate. Affected by the monsoon, the annual precipitation gradually decreases from the southeast coast to the northwest inland. In the south, not only the rainy season lasts for a long time, but also floods often occur because of the concentrated precipitation in summer and autumn. However, the precipitation in North China and Northwest China is relatively low, coupled with excessive reclamation and grazing, and the ability of water storage and drought resistance is poor, so it faces a serious "water shortage", which affects the production and life of local people.
South ship and north horse. In ancient China, boats were the main modes of transportation in the south and horses in the north. The reason is that the climate in the south is humid, the precipitation is abundant, and the surface river network is densely covered, so the ship transportation adapted to the "water town" came into being. In the north, however, the climate is arid and semi-arid, grasslands are widely distributed and animal husbandry is developed. In addition to providing milk and meat products, horses have been domesticated as vehicles by the people in the north and become vehicles on the land in the north because of their good endurance and high speed.
The south is short and the north is high. As far as the biological characteristics of population are concerned, the southerners in China are short and the northerners are tall. According to statistics, the average height of men in Northeast China and North China is 1.693m, and that in Yunnan-Guichuan is1.647m. Judging from the temperature difference between north and south, most of them are short because of the hot climate in the south, rapid metabolism, rapid development of reproductive organs, early maturity and short life cycle.
